It's Official: The Sex and the City Prequel TV Show is Really Happening

We've heard rumor after rumor about a potential Sex and the City prequel TV show in the works, but we've yet to find the legit details to back it up. Welllll, ladies: the day is finally here!

Confirmed yesterday by Fashionista, the CW is officially going into production on The Carrie Diaries. Now, if you'll excuse me while I have a heart attack or two...

...OK, back. Sadly, there's no word yet on whether the much-speculated-about Blake Lively will be involved, but we do know that the show will involve former Sex and the City writer Amy Harris, and will be executive produced by Candace Bushnell and a few of the crew behind Gossip Girl, too!

But let's be real about what we're most looking forward to here: the CLOTHES! If this doesn't spark our imaginations for some retro-inspired glamour, we're not sure anything will.

So, is this news making you flip, too? Do you still hope Blake Lively is on board? Who would play your ideal young Carrie?
